What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

It was the early hours of the morning and I was the only one of the three crew on watch. It was simple enough job, hold to the Captain's course and avoid other shipping where necessary. The second part was easy because there wasn't any.

I soon found out why.

The first sign that we were in the wrong place was a breaking wave... something you never want to see in the middle of the ocean. I thought it was a whale or something at first. I can remember, as I type this, the rush I felt at that breaking water. So loud, so unexpected. I had no idea what it was.

Then the captain exploded up through the hatch screaming "Reef! Reef!" Ten seconds later we hit it, keeling over as the coral ripped into our hull. It was the longest twenty seconds of my life, the sound was terrible, but then we were over sailing normally again. "Thank God," I thought - not knowing that we'd already started taking in water.

But it wasn't over. The captain looked out into the inky blackness and ordered us to turn the yacht around.

"We have to hit it again," he said. "Right now."

At the time I couldn't begin to understand why he wanted to put us back in danger. Not a bad setup for a thriller.

OK, what are the differences between 'Execution is Everything: Jon Kaine 1', 'Execution is Everything - Full Subscriber Edition' and 'Execution is Everything: The Girl (Jon Kaine)'. I read one (shorter) version and enjoyed it very much, but now I'd like to continue with the series and read a longer version of the first installment, but not sure which to invest my time in - Thoughts? Thanks, Scott

Nick Warren Hey there Scott, Glad you enjoyed part 1 and thanks for the question.

Short answer: “Execution Is Everything: Jon Kaine 1” is the book you need.

Longer …moreHey there Scott, Glad you enjoyed part 1 and thanks for the question.

Short answer: “Execution Is Everything: Jon Kaine 1” is the book you need.

Longer answer ;-)

Execution Is Everything was originally written as a three part serial.

1) Execution Is Everything : The Girl
2) Execution Is Everything : The Breach
3) Execution Is Everything : Everything Ends

For the first year anyone subscribed got those parts for free, culminating in the “Full Subscriber Edition” which included everything.

That offer ended after a year and in July 2017 I started selling the full book on Amazon as “Execution Is Everything: Jon Kaine 1.” This includes the 24,000 word book you’ve already read plus parts 2 and 3 (which add another 110,000 words).

I hope that helps clear up the confusion. Let me know if not(less)

Subscriber offer ends on July 16th

Just over 11 months ago I published the first part of Execution Is Everything to see if anyone would like it.

What a fun ride it's been since then.

Today the pilot has over 400 five star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, and over 1,300 readers have subscribed to get the Full subscriber edition. Best of all I've made new friends all over the place, with readers in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Read more of this blog post »
